    Rather disappointed with the commentary. The tour could have been been made so much more interesting with a few more comments about the fjord - for example how deep it is, the cruise ships which call in and the stopping due to the pollution they create. The commentary pointed out a handful of buildings, then silence all the way back to Oslo

    It was just beautiful to be out on the water. Staff was friendly. Information was useful. Provided blankets, which were very much appreciated.

    Great way to see Oslo from the fjord. Some beautiful properties dotted around the fjord, as well as some tiny ones. Not sure if they were fishing huts or saunas. Limited talk but it was fine, as lot was self explanatory and just nice to sit and enjoy. The bottom part of the boat in sun, top part in shade. It really isn't suitable for small kids and babies, but fortunately the crying one wasn't next to me. Take hat for shade, and jumper for extra layer as it can be a bit cool out there. You can book on the day, but I booked the day before. Boat leaves from Pier 3. We're told to get there 20 minutes before departure. But we queued and waited for half an hour in the sun. A very worthwhile trip.

    Definitely I did not appreciate the tour. The boat was very old. The toilet was dirty and during the trip nobody cleaned it. It was raining and there was not sufficient support to cope with the situation. In brief, I do not recommend this tour.

    Crew were friendly, gave interesting facts and the cruise was a great way to see more of the area in the little time we had.

  • 12-Jul-2023

    Great excursion and beautiful views on the Fjord. Commentary was excellent and really gave me a good idea of Norwegian culture and more specifically the culture in Oslo. Loved the experience.

    A great way to get an insight into Oslo when you are short on time. I was in Oslo with work but had free personal time on Saturday so this was the perfect way of seeing the sights from the water. The commentary was fairly simple but nothing more was needed.

    My parents and I enjoyed this very much! Lovely sites to see and interesting information from the recorded commentary. A fun day for tourists and would do it again!

    Lovely views of Oslo from the fjord - comfortable boat and helpful staff. There is a bar and food available on board and toilet facilities.
